IMPROVBMEN T IN MILL- GEARING.

'IOl ALL WHOM I'l MAY OQNCERN Be it known that I, JOSEPH SBICKEL, ofHmrisonburg, in the county of Rockingham, in the State of Virginia, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Mill-Gearing; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact 'description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed'drawings making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1is a front view.

Figure 2 is arperpendicular section.'

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use myinvention, I willdescribe its construction and operation.

I construct a master-wheel, iig. 1, A A, and set it firmly in a frame,so that it is stationary. I construct a pinion, D, which moves in thecogs of the master-wheel. Upon the inside axle of this pinion I attach aspurwheel, C, as is seen in figs. 1 and 2. I construct asimilar pinion,G, which'also moves in'the cogs of the master,

and in a similar manner as above attach a spur-wheel. I construct armsH, which arc attached to the respective axles ofthe pinions at E E. Iconstruct a main lpropelling shaft in the usual way, which I'attach tothe arms H H,iwhich control the pinionsand spur-wheels, atl? P P P, iniig. V2, the dotted lines S S in tig. 2 showing how and where the mainpropelling shaft is attached to the inside arm. `I construct anattaching head-shaft, 0, fig. 2, which has a pinion on it, as seenin Fin tig. 1. This attaching head-shaft works in the main propelling shaftat L in iig. 2, and throu'gh the arms H I-I, to the head of which, at 0,fig. 2, the trundle-head is attached, either by spur or hand. Thus,power being applied to the main 4propelling shaft X in fig. 2, thepinions move around the innercircle of the stationary master-wheel A A,and drive the spur-wheels upon the pinion of the attaching head-shaft O,fig. 2, which accelerates 'greatly the speedot' the trundle-head overthe gearing now 1n use.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The combination of the stationary master-wheel E, the pinions D D D Dand F, the spuriwheels B B C C, the arms H H, and the wholesubstantially as above described, for the purpose of increasing thespeed of the trundle-head in mills',- and the-velocity of burrs. i i i iJOSEPH SHICKEL. Witnesses:
